Other Media 73 3 Introduction Maker’s hallmarks represent an extremely important part of decorative arts scholarship, and they are frequently used to define and determine various pieces of design and craftwork around the world. From auction houses, to the appraisal office, to the museum, hallmarks have been important clues to discovering the mysterious creators behind grand works of silver, porcelain, glass, and other forms of media. Because of the importance hallmarks play in uncovering the secrets about an object to researchers, many sources have been devoted to the topic to provide an aid to those looking for more information, either on specific objects theselves, or on the workshops that create them. Yet, with the considerable amount of sources, which discuss the various topics on hallmarks, I have not seen any guides as of yet that try to collect the extensive amount of these sources into one consolidated bibliography for researchers to use as a basic reference. This document is a first of many future attempts to produce a bibliographic compendium of all sources relating to hallmarks on metals, ceramics and other materials. This compendium will like to provide titles of printed and online sources for those searching for general guides to hallmarks, or to those who require more specific information on a hallmark in question. This guide is sorted into categories relating to materials used to make the objects, and the countries from which they were made, making it simple to search for more specific subjects pertaining to one’s research. While this is only the first step to creating a fully comprehensive bibliography, I hope that it may be a beneficial aid to either scholars and researchers with expertise on hallmarks, or to first-time participants with a budding interest in the topic. I also hope this guide can be a catalyst to many more extensive and complete bibliographies that can make research on hallmarks more accessible for all interested in studying these critical tools of decorative arts history. I thank all those from these five institutions who helped me compile this list together, and I hope that they too can benefit from this list in their future research on these important signatures of fine design and craft: hallmarks. -Sebastian Grant 4 Notes on the Bibliography 1. This bibliography was primarily compiled from five major institutions in the United States and the United Kingdom, including the Smithsonian Institution, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Winterthur Museum, Garden, and Library, the Corning Museum of Glass, and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. It should be noted that printed materials found for this bibliography come from these institutions, but may be found in other locations. 2. It should also be noted that the titles in this bibliography only pertain to the decorative arts of Europe and the Americas, with titles on Asian, African, and Middle Eastern decorative arts omitted from the list. 3. Titles in the bibliography mainly pertain to decorative arts from the Renaissance to today. Any sources from Prehistory to the Middle Ages are unlikely to be found. 4. The sources featured in this bibliography are only either printed or online websites. Please take caution when reviewing online sources, as they may provide inaccurate information despite thorough revisions. 5. Titles sorted by country mainly refer to objects produced in that country or by that culture, but some titles sorted may also contain broader general information and may only be sorted to the country of publication. It should also be noted that certain books by country may contain objects produced in other nations, please view with attention to this information. 6. Some sources refer to regions no longer in existence, the bibliography has been sorted into countries best representing those former regions of the past. 7. Some titles may be found in multiple categories. 8. Online archive links to print sources are taken only from the Smithsonian Institution 5 Key to Institutions Code Insitution Catalog Website SMITH Smithsonian Library http://siris-libraries.si.edu/ipac20/ipac.jsp?profile= MET Metropolitan Museum of Art https://library.metmuseum.org/ V&A Victoria & Albert Museum and http://www.vam.ac.uk/page/n/national-art-library/ National Art Library WINTER Winterthur Museum, Garden http://library.winterthur.org:8001/search/ and Library query?theme=winterthur CMG Corning Museum of Glass http://www.cmog.org/research/library-search 6 General Hallmarks Titles in Print • B.

  • Full Results of Survey of Songs
    Existential Songs Full results Supplementary material for Mick Cooper’s Existential psychotherapy and counselling: Contributions to a pluralistic practice (Sage, 2015), Appendix. One of the great strengths of existential philosophy is that it stretches far beyond psychotherapy and counselling; into art, literature and many other forms of popular culture. This means that there are many – including films, novels and songs that convey the key messages of existentialism. These may be useful for trainees of existential therapy, and also as recommendations for clients to deepen an understanding of this way of seeing the world. In order to identify the most helpful resources, an online survey was conducted in the summer of 2014 to identify the key existential films, books and novels. Invites were sent out via email to existential training institutes and societies, and through social media. Participants were invited to nominate up to three of each art media that ‘most strongly communicate the core messages of existentialism’. In total, 119 people took part in the survey (i.e., gave one or more response). Approximately half were female (n = 57) and half were male (n = 56), with one of other gender. The average age was 47 years old (range 26–89). The participants were primarily distributed across the UK (n = 37), continental Europe (n = 34), North America (n = 24), Australia (n = 15) and Asia (n = 6). Around 90% of the respondents were either qualified therapists (n = 78) or in training (n = 26). Of these, around two-thirds (n = 69) considered themselves existential therapists, and one third (n = 32) did not. There were 235 nominations for the key existential song, with enormous variation across the different respondents.

  • European Art & Decorative Arts Wall Text and Extended Labels
    European Art & Decorative Arts Wall Text and Extended Labels FIRST FLOOR The Morgan Memorial The construction of the Morgan Memorial, completed in two sections in 1910 and 1915, more than doubled the size of the original Wadsworth Atheneum that opened in 1844. The building is dedicated to Junius Spencer Morgan, whose bust by William Wetmore Story stands at the top of the western stairs. Morgan was a Hartford man who founded a banking empire, and his son, J. Pierpont Morgan, chose to build the museum’s new wing as a tribute to his father. The total cost of the Memorial—over $1,400,000—represents the largest of J. Pierpont Morgan’s generous gifts. He spent over twelve years purchasing the several properties on which the Memorial stands, and was involved in its construction until his death in 1913. Benjamin Wistar Morris, a noted New York architect, was selected to design what was to be a new home for the Wadsworth Atheneum’s art collection. It was built in the grand English Renaissance style, and finished with magnificent interior details. Four years after J. Pierpont Morgan’s death, his son, J. Pierpont Morgan Jr., followed the wishes outlined in his father’s will and gave the Wadsworth Atheneum a trove of ancient art and European decorative arts from his father’s renowned collection. Living in the Ancient World Ordinary objects found at sites from the countries surrounding the Mediterranean Sea and the Middle East reveal a great deal about daily life in the ancient world. Utensils for eating and drinking, glassware, lamps, jewelry, pottery, and stone vessels disclose the details of everyday life.

  • WG Sebald and Outsider
    Writing from the Periphery: W. G. Sebald and Outsider Art by Melissa Starr Etzler A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in German and the Designated Emphasis in Film Studies in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Winfried Kudszus, Chair Professor Anton Kaes Professor Anne Nesbet Spring 2014 Abstract Writing from the Periphery: W. G. Sebald and Outsider Art by Melissa Starr Etzler Doctor of Philosophy in German and the Designated Emphasis in Film Studies University of California, Berkeley Professor Winfried Kudszus, Chair This study focuses on a major aspect of literature and culture in the later twentieth century: the intersection of psychiatry, madness and art. As the antipsychiatry movement became an international intervention, W. G. Sebald’s fascination with psychopathology rapidly developed. While Sebald collected many materials on Outsider Artists and has several annotated books on psychiatry in his personal library, I examine how Sebald’s thought and writings, both academic and literary, were particularly influenced by Ernst Herbeck’s poems. Herbeck, a diagnosed schizophrenic, spent decades under the care of Dr. Leo Navratil at the psychiatric institute in Maria Gugging. Sebald became familiar with Herbeck via the book, Schizophrenie und Sprache (1966), in which Navratil analyzed his patients’ creative writings in order to illustrate commonalities between pathological artistic productions and canonical German literature, thereby blurring the lines between genius and madness. In 1980, Sebald travelled to Vienna to meet Ernst Herbeck and this experience inspired him to compose two academic essays on Herbeck and the semi-fictionalized account of their encounter in his novel Vertigo (1990).

  • Practical Hallmarking Guide 1
    Practical Guide to Hallmarking. Informationfromthe Edinburgh Assay Oce GUAR ANTE E ING THE QUALITY OF PR E C IOUS ME TALS S INC E 1457 The purpose of this document is to give practical guidance in relation to Hallmarking matters.The Edinburgh Assay Oce is happy to answer questions arising from this information. SellingPrecious MetalJewelleryintheUK Traders who wish to sell precious metal jewellery, ie Platinum, Gold or Silver in the UK must follow the rules laid out by law in the Hallmarking Act 1973. If these rules are not followed Trading Standards Officers have the right to seize goods immediately and the seller is committing an illegal act. Whyis theHallmarkimportant? For the manufacture of jewellery and silverware precious metals are not used in their purest forms.Instead they are mixed with other metals like zinc and copper,known as base metals.The resulting mixture is what is called,an alloy.This is done to give greater strength, durability or a particular colour to the metal. It is not possible to discern by sight or by touch how much precious metal,if any,is present in an alloy.It is therefore a legal requirement,in the UK,to hallmark all articles consisting of gold,silver or platinum (subject to certain exemptions) if they are to be described as such. Precious metal is expensive. If you buy an item which contains less precious metal than it should, then you are being cheated. The hallmark is your guarantee so you know what you are buying. It is an offence under the UK Hallmarking Act 1973 for any person in the course of trade or business to: • Describe an un-hallmarked article as being wholly or partly made of gold,silver or platinum.

  • Sponsors' Marks, Logos and Town Marks
    THE BRITISH HALLMARKING COUNCIL PRINCIPLES AND GUIDANCE ON SPONSORS’ MARKS, LOGOS AND TOWN MARKS Preamble: The overall purpose of this document is to try to prevent confusion regarding hallmarks for the benefit of the public. Sponsors’ Marks. The Hallmarking Act 1973 was amended by a Legislative Reform effective from 8 February 2013 and has changed inter alia the requirements for the design of “sponsors’ marks”. The amendment removed the requirement to include in the sponsor’s mark the initial letters of the name or names of the manufacturer or sponsor. The Hallmarking Act 1973 s3(3) (a) now provides that: “Any sponsor’s mark which is registered under this section shall be of such design as may be approved by an assay office.” This document provides guidance to the trade and to the assay offices on the procedure adopted by assay offices in respect of approving sponsors’ marks which are designed following the amendment to the Hallmarking Act 1973 s3. Logos and Town Marks. Logos and the use of a Town Mark from a town where there was once an Assay Office which has now closed, have the potential to be confused with the legal hallmark. This paper is intended to update previous guidance on logos and to give fresh advice on the use of ‘old town marks’ to prevent any such confusion. Approved by the British Hallmarking Council on 15 April 2013 PRINCIPLES AND GUIDANCE 1. Definitions (i) Hallmark For the purpose of these Guidelines, an approved hallmark is defined as any mark applied, or intended to be applied, to precious metal articles within the requirements of the Hallmarking Act 1973 s4 and subsequent amendments, i.e.
